Simon Cowell wants to give people what they want, and apparently the people want Louis Walsh back on The X Factor.

The show's boss and judge Simon is basically not ruling out the RETURN of Louis to the singing competition. Although we feel like we're not surprised to hear this news.

Louis even REJECTED a whopping £500,000 to appear on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! this year on the off-chance he'll appear back onX Factor.

Speaking on the return of Louis, who was brutally axed from the show this year after 11 series, Simon told the Press Association: "I wouldn't rule out anything..

"And by the way, when I say these things, sometimes I'm thinking, I've got to ask about 25 people here, and half of them will go no, but I just put it out there anyway, because we like to try new things.

"And hopefully some things will be a surprise, but you've got to be fearless when you do these types of things, and you've got to have a sense of humour.

"If I thought the viewers would like to see him on some of the live shows, why not?"

The music mogul also revealed they'll be other "returns" the ITV show, including Fleur East and previous X Factor winner Ben Haenow.

Simon revealed all this glorious TV news during a visit to the BRIT School and the Nordoff Robbins facilities in the grounds in Croydon, south London.

The father-of-one made a surprise visit and spent time with a family undergoing music therapy with Nordoff Robbins.

Cheryl's Adam Lippes tuxedo dress may cost over £1k, but that's nothing compared to a lifetime of dry cleaning bills. Just beware of Nando's, eh Chez?

B*Witched would be soooo jealous of these denim co-ords. Rita continues to show off her risky fash sense on the red carpet

Poor Rita must've accidentally got stuck in a door or been attacked by a pack of dogs on the way to the auditions. We can think of no other possible explanation for that missing sleeve
